HOT Fund Applications Available

The City of Huntsville Tourism Department has finalized the 2013-14 Hotel Occupancy Tax, or HOT, grant application, and interested parties may retrieve the application on the City’s Web site at www.huntsvilletx.gov.

For the last four years, the City has offered HOT fund support to new and existing events which help attract overnight stays in local hotels and increase the flow of tourists into Huntsville and Walker County.

According to Director of Tourism and Cultural Services, Kimm Thomas, all parties interested in applying for HOT Fund grants for the coming fiscal year will be required to attend a workshop on how to spend the funds. Thomas said the workshop will be held at Comfort Suites on Tuesday, May 7, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
